Brief Answer: Fixed drug eruption Detailed Answer: Hi You seem to be developing a fixed drug eruption every time during your cycles. I would like to know if you are taking any pain killers or any other medicines regularly or every time during the menstrual cycles. These eruptions tend to come up on intake of any particular drugs every time. Dr Geetika Paul

I dont take any reguler medications. I do take Naprogesic Period Pain Tablets when im menstrating. I do take a krill oil and pro biotic to avided the thrush but that dosenot seem to be helping.

Brief Answer: Fixed drug reaction Detailed Answer: Hi See what you aid developing is basically a fixed drug eruption type of drug reaction. You should avoid taking naprogesic in future. This drug is causing the reaction at the same place every time that you take it. The skin lesion that you have is basically a lesion of fixed drug eruption which again develops reaction everytime you take the allergic drug. Now as far as safer alternative pain killers are concerned, you can safely take paracetamol or crocin for the period associated pain every time during your menses. Now for the treatment of the lesion that you have developed, you can apply a mild steroid cream like cortisone over it twice a day for two to three days. Dr Geetika Paul

Could that be the curse if the thrush too? As last mouth i dix not take the drug andhad no probs

Answered by Dr. Geetika Paul (1 hour later)

Brief Answer: Fixed drug reaction Detailed Answer: Yes This basically means that the lesions that you are developing in the mouth are not thrush but they are lesions of the same drug reaction which also develop in the mouth after the intake of the drug. So basically you need to avoid taking it. And remember that all your life you cannot take this particular drug or you will again develop the same reaction and it can even be worse. Dr Geetika Paul

Thank you sooo much.. I will see my family doctor when she returns from hoildays.. How long will the mouth lesions take to heal ? And is there anything i can do to help it from hurting? Will thr one on my eye ever fade?

Answered by Dr. Geetika Paul (3 hours later)

Brief Answer: drug reaction Detailed Answer: Hi again See the oral lesions do take time to heal. They may take up to two weeks to completely heal and sometimes even more if they get infected by fungal infection too. As far as the spot over the eye is concerned, at present the skin lesion is fresh . Once it heals completely and leaves a pigmented scar, then treatment with a lightening agent can be started after assessment by a doctor. It will get better with time. Dr Geetika Paul
